Baking fries in the skillet mamma's nowhere to be found,
Waiting patiently for breakfast while the house burns down,
Gotta get away out onto the sea, just need a little boat my inspiration
and me,
Just need a little boat my inspiration and me,

Suzanne, Suzanne,
Nothing is better than a one night stand, you're gonna miss that girl,
She was an easy catch but she's impossible to keep,
She'll slip through your fingers, she'll go straight for the seams,
She's a late night dancer though you thought you held her in your sleep,
You're shaking your head you're not gonna listen to me,
Cause nothing compares to your one night stand,
You're gonna miss Suzanne.

She had you dancing in the puddles, splashing at the heavens,
Dripping moonlight, I still see the moon in your eyes,
You're chasing fireflies, they'll tease you but by the morning they'll be
gone,
Tell me where's she gonna sleep? Tell me where's she gonna sleep?
Where's she gonna sleep tonight?

Because it ain't what she's got it's what she don't get,
She's got you tapping your toes while she so easily forgets,
About the heaven and the moon and the dance on second avenue,
That late night jive, the sparkle in your eyes,
Another evening has arrived, she's off chasing fireflies.

Little sweety in the diner chewing mints and drinking cider,
Waiting for the day when you decide to go and find her,
She's just a pebble in the sand, another feather in your hand,
She ain't got nothing on your old Suzanne,
No one compares to your one night stand,
You're gonna miss Suzanne.

Because it ain't who you got it's who you don't get,
She's got you tapping your toes while she so easily forgets,
About the heaven and the moon and the dance on second avenue,
That late night jive, the sparkle in your eyes,
When ya gonna realize, you're just chasing fireflies.

I was your sweety in the diner wondering why you never came,
I was so easily captured like a moth to a flame,
Look past the pebbles and the sand, you'll have a diamond in your hand,
We'll just forget about your old Suzanne,
Or boy I'm gonna miss you, I'm gonna miss you...
And you're gonna miss Suzanne.

Oooh mornings leave me lonely nights are with you only, if only in my head,
Oh wish you were here, holding me near we could make it real, real instead,
Could we make it real, real instead.

I'm holding on to a night time feeling, dreams of you are fading,
Lights are dancing on my ceiling and I know the mornings waiting,
Yes I know the mornings waiting singing.

Wake up your sleepy head, it's time to face the day,
There's nothing you can do and there's nowhere that you can hide away,
Ooh, I don't see no sky of blue, just another day of grey to leave me here
missing you,
Oooh I'm still missing you, I'm just waiting for another day to be through
for,
Another day to be through.

I'm holding on to a night time feeling, dreams of you are fading,
Lights are dancing on my ceiling and I know the mornings waiting,
Yes I know the mornings waiting singing,
Wake up your sleepy head, it's time to face the day,
There's nothing you can do and there's nowhere that you can hide away.

You pray for winter, while I crave the desert,
We'd like to trade places if we could still be together,
But to California goes my mythical scholar,
His comic heros, stories of suns moons and lovers.

He was scared to be my baby,
And I was scared to have him be my baby,
Let's start all over tonight from here,
And I'll marry you in the morning ... in another couple of years.

She sings with a dagger, he fights with a vengeance,
She takes home my lover and begs me for penance,
Cause she was scared to be his baby,
But she was scared to have him be my baby,
I don't know what I feel from here,
But I'll know better in the morning... in another couple of years.

She comes to confide me her song of his thunder,
I'm tangled in silence, she's swept up in wonder,
And to California goes my mythical scholar,
His comic heroes, stories of suns moons and lovers,

He was scared to be my baby,
I was scared to have him be my baby,
We don't know where to go from here,
But we'll know better in the morning... in another couple of years.

I wish I were a little bird, and I could fly so easily,
I would go to mountain peaks, where no one could find me,
I would go to the mountain stream and build a nest of moss,
There I'd hold him in my dreams my child whom I have lost,

As the morning sun will rise over rocky cliffs of snow and ice,
I'd let the high winds carry me and set my weary heart free,

Oh I wish I were a little bird and I could fly so easily,
To the prairies flat and wide as far as I could see,
I would go to the lake shore beneath the changing sky,
There I'd sing for my little one a slow sweet,

And I would wait for summer storms where the lightning brightens the sky,
I would sing while thunder roars so my child he would not cry,

Oh but if I were a little bird and I could fly so easily,
Here I'd stay by the ocean side where my babe rests in the sea,
My child my child so sweet and young you are lost to the ocean so wide,
Here I'll stay to watch over you one with the changing tide,
Oh I wish I were a little bird,

I woke up in the morning I've been dreaming of my love,
Waiting for me down by the river, waiting for me down by the river,

In my dream he was dancing and singing for my love,
He knew I'd be coming down to the river, yes he knew I'd be coming down
to the river,

But memory fades now as the days have been passing,
And the leaves are fading too from green to yellow,
Yes the leaves are fading from green to yellow,

There's no oil in the furnace and it's cold in our beds here,
There is no love to keep me warm, there is no love to keep me warm,

So I dream of my baby, cause I know he will save me,
We will go dancing down by the river, we will go dancing down my the river,

I woke up in the morning, I've been dreaming of my love, waiting for me
down by the river,
Won't you let me go dancing, dancing, dancing down by the river,
Won't you let me go dancing, dancing, dancing down by the river,

What other choice were we given?
What other choice were we given?
What kind of choice were we given?
What other choice were we given?

What kind of world do you live in?
Allows you to justify killing,
You tell me what other choice were we given,
What other choice were we given?

You stare me down in question,
Where did you come from, who were your parents?
You wear your flag with pride in conviction yourself not an immigrant,
You wear your flag with pride in conviction yourself not an immigrant,

But what other choice were you given?
What other choice were you given?.....

We supplied the bombs and the weapons,
But they make no mention of it,
They don't show us the blood that we shed in the east,
Cause that won't make the shareholders profit,

So the bombs go down in that country,
But all we will see is our towers,
And this date becomes a legend, to protect the rich and their power,
This date becomes a legend, to protect the rich and their power,

But what other choice were they given?
What other choice were they given? ......

Now the lines are fed to reporters,
About how we've graciously dropped them some food,
But after cutting off all supplies at their borders,
Tell me would you take food from them that were killing you?
Would you take food from them that were killing you?

But what other choice were they given?
What other choice were they given?
What kind of choice were they given?
What other choice were they given?

A mermaid saw a sailing ship upon her ocean blue,
"Sailors! sailors!" she teased them, "Won' t you let me play with you?"
A sailor looked over the starboard side, said, "Life here is far to stern,
I'd trade it all for a day with you for you love my heart does yearn."

"Sailor, sailor don't be fooled, you know my heart is by the ocean
ruled,
And to love is just a game I play but I will not stay, no I will not stay."

The sailor though he could not swim ignored his captain's call,
And he listened not to her warning and into the sea did he fall,
As he kissed her salty cheek he knew this was his death,
And so he said to his mermaid love upon his dying breath,

He said, "Maiden, maiden don't be sad, to die for you is all I ever had,
And your simple love has set me free for a sailing ship is a cage to me."

The mermaid wept for her sailor boy she saw then what she had done,
By tempting a lonely sailor, who's heart was pure and young,
When she could no longer hold his weight they fell down to the ocean deep,
She sang for him a song of love to put his soul to sleep,
She sang for him a song of love to put his soul to sleep.

My true love, she left me, I was roving all my days,
She told me that it was my fault to send another man her way,
Yes she told me that it was my fault to send another man her way.

Well I didn't understand her and what she was trying to say,
Wrote her letters to say I missed her and I sent them every day,
Wrote her letters to say I missed her and I sent them every day.

I said, "Don't you know I love you, how did my letters sound?"
She said "I ain't a girl who reads much, but thanks for sending the postman
around!"
She said, "I ain't a girl who reads much but thanks for sending the postman
around!"

She said, "I was getting lonely never knew when you'd be home to stay,
But the postman I could depend on, rain or storm he'd come every day,
Yeah the postman I could depend on, rain or storm he'd come every day."

My true love, she left me, I was roving all my days,
She told me that it was my fault to send another man her way,
Yes she told me that it was my fault to send another man her way,
Well I guess that it was my fault to send another man her way.
